Simulation workshop and remote laboratory: two Web-based training approaches for control

Remote control laboratory via Internet using Matlab and Simulink

“…A more detailed study between remote and virtual labs is presented in Ref. 4. Without a doubt, the use of real physical systems allows the students to acquire knowledge in a more efficient way than using only simulated exercises.…”

A fieldbus simulator for training purposes

“…On-line experiments that allow comparing the performance of different controllers, such as PD and PID, in situations of set point changes and disturbance, are also explored [23]. The author affirms that simulations are excellent for theory assimilation, but they cannot substitute a real experiment in the laboratory.…”

A remote laboratory on PID autotuning

“…Having both physical and simulated experiments, see also section 4, is particularly useful for the autotuning domain, both for general reasons (Exel et al, 2000) and owing to how difficult it is to implement an autotuner. i.e.. not only 'computing some Fig.…”
